And also, is there any ways to automate mass permission granting because each sub-folder have permission granted to different groups of people.

    Hi jonw98 

     

    To clarify, do you mean you need to create this same set of folders/subfolders/permissions over multiple libraries? That is, is that why you wish to automate the process? I ask, because if this is something you're trying to do on a single library (but multiple folders with different permissions), then you might be better off with some sort of SharePoint permission management tool.

      HiSandy Ussia! Thanks for your reply.

       

      Currently I am not sure if the whole library needs to be repeatedly created (on different accounts), but one thing is for sure is that the each sub-folder will always access granted to different groups. So I guess this will be the main issue now, which is to automate the granting of each sub-folder when it is created.

      As for the SharePoint permission management tool that you have mentioned, are those 3rd party applications? And are there free versions of it?
